Logística reversa de embalagens de agrotóxicos no município de Chopinzinho-PR: estudo de caso

Abstract

The reverse logistics of pesticide packaging in Brazil began around 2002, when the National Institute for the Processing of Empty Packaging (INPEVEL) was created. At first, farmers complained about the return, with the passage of times that the technique was maturing all ended up adopting as a routine to be performed once a year, tonating Brazil as a worldwide reference in the return of packaging which previously kept locking corner on the property or in some cases was discarded in rivers or burned, which previously did not have a correct destination. Thus, the reverse logistics of packaging proved to be important in the Brazilian agricultural scenario. First, we sought to conduct a bibliographic research to present different conceptions on the subject, seeking information and opinions from several authors. After we sought information about the company collecting the packaging of pesticides, about the collection procedure in the municipality of Chopinzinho - Paraná. It was concluded that even though it is an activity that does not generate economic profit for society, the process of collecting, storing and processing of empty pesticide packaging did not fail to be developed, due to the reason that society charged and demanded that they be norms and laws were created that regulated the entire process, from manufacturing, through resellers, reaching the final consumer, because it is not only of economic profits that live a society, but also in the social and environmental spheres, in future generations.
